"…Tell Rook to stop causing problems." Corey chuckled, shaking her head. Poor Cecil, having all these voices following him. How the big man managed to not go crazy… She then considered their options, thinking to herself even as Cecil apologized for not remembering the beginning parts of that number…
"Actually. Cecil, get on the Radio, and tell anyone from University to get back to base for a minute. You stay there, I'll be right back." She ordered, before turning and running up the stairs to her room. Before she got too far up the stairs, and paused, and called back down to him:
"You did really great, Cecil! Between this and your duty work, I'm promoting you to Sohomore. Congrats!" She then disappeared up the stairs, to get some equipment.

[Dorms - DECISION TIME]
Word went out: If you were part of University, you needed to get back to base quickly. It would only take a moment of their time, or at least that was what was promised.
"Thanks for coming back." Corey called to those who returned, looking out over the sea of blue-and-black jerseys, some looking much worse for wear than others. Yet they were alive, and that was what was important. "It's come to my attention that there is a phone number we might call to get some answers. We have some electricity. We might be able to call it. The question is, should we put some of our dwindling resources towards this?
Please sound off, or raise your hand if you think we should"

Harvard clapped (sort of - he only had one working hand) for Cecil. First promotion in the ranks. It sounded like effort, to be honest, and he wasn't surprised it was Cecil. He looked around for someone interesting.
In the meantime, he raised his hand for calling the number.

As he was told to do Cecil relayed the message over the radio and kept it vague. He wasn't sure who everyone was but it was best to keep the information as in house as possible.
He waited for Corey to return seeing Harvard arriving shortly after. Perhaps a little embarrassed he smiled awkwardly and nodded his thanks before he too rose his hand in favor of calling the number. It was worth a try.

By the time Rook made it back, he was hobbling a little as he rubbed his knee, having hit it on the way in. Cecil had fortunately informed him it was time for roll call and he rushed back as quickly as he could. Though thanks to a few.... distractions, he wasn't really paying attention to where he was running.
He hadn't been expecting that bit of information though. "Erm, is this phone number real? Not saying we shouldn't use it, but who exactly provided the number?" He didn't doubt Corey or Cecil, but if it came from other 'sources,' well, then he couldn't quite say the same, now could he?

Hitsu had heard Cecil's call over the radio she'd discovered, and headed back to the dorms immediately. She was glad that she had found a radio as well, if only because it meant that even if she wasn't near her friend she could still talk to him.
While she'd arrived in time to hear the short briefing, it didn't mean she actually heard it, but when Cecil raised his hand, so did Hitsu, voting that the phone number be called. She trusted Cecil's decisions, whatever it might have been... Though, if she realized what she'd been raising her hand for her response would have been no different.
Her radio was turned up to full volume, which meant it was quite loudly crackling to life every few minutes or so.

James had been lounging in his filthy dorm anyway, drawing (bad) Neko Atsume fanart and nursing his wounds when the call had gone out. He cheerfully hobbled to the lobby to listen in and give his ill informed opinion.
"As long as it isn't like," he scoured his brain, "867-5309, then lets totally call it! After all, what if it's DELIVERY PIZZA?"
He beamed at everyone. If there was one lesson he learned in life, it was, not everyone is going to like you - you're not pizza.

Kammy had been in the university when the call went out, as it probably wasn't to smart for her to be anywhere else.
After hearing what was happening, she was all for it, so she faced the wall And raised her hand
She also secretly hoped there would be pizza involved.

"Good to see that you can survive a walk." Cecil smiled at Rook, though he did notice the hobble to his walk. "You alright?"
He walked a bit closer using the curtain rod Corey had given him to make sure he didn't run into anything, before he was standing next to the small man. "I heard it over the radio. They were talking about....a lot of things but I can't sure sure who its from. That's why we want everyone here to weigh in their opinion." He didn't know if Corey would want him to share the info about what else he had heard. Would it cause panic unnecessarily?
And then there was Kammy....facing the wall and raising her hand. "Kammy? Can you see?"

Austin blinked slowly at the announcement, fidgeting where he stood. A certain distrust had begun to grow in him, developing more and more as he heard messages over the radio and interacted with strangers around the base. The Harbingers didn't seem particularly helpful, to him, nor did some of the things people said --
So for the time being, he shook his head sharply, crossed his arms over his chest very opposed to calling the number. And, after a moment, he struggled to speak.
"Trap." A moment's pause, while he tried to put a complicated idea into words, let out through a barely-opened mouth. "No rescue, only elimination of problem."

Austin's slim and a bit taller than average at 5'10' with sandy hair shorn short on the sides, longer and curly on the top. His eyes, behind a pair of thin wire thick plastic frames with the wrong prescription, are faded green and usually amused; his skin is fair, freckling in sun unless he's careful; his mouth is just a little too full, in a way that appeals to most people.
Justin made his way inside the dorm area, only stopping to give rook a bop on the back of the head for good measure. "Dense as a doorknob indeed." he muttered jokingly and waved at Cecil. Corey had something interesting to discuss. a chance for more information. It was tempting, as he thought about it, tapping his foot as he mulled it over. "I think you all need to remember." he began, hoping that was all it took to gain their attention. " we are on a limited amount of current. our generators can only produce so much power over a large area." he continued, pacing the floor. "if this information comes at the cost of us being in complete darkness, then Iwholeheartly disagree.
He didn't care how it made him sound, being the odd guy out. "information won't keep them at bay when we can't see our hands in front of our faces."

No doubt about it, Professor Voss was delighted to return from the blast zone as soon as he feasibly could, not wishing to go back there alone. He had already been on his way in when he overheard the others talking about returning to base ('Thank God,' he thought). As he hobbles up into the room, sore and dirty and his right eye swollen shut, he leans heavily on his cane as he listens carefully to the announcement and considers, closing his eyes in thought as he always does.
"A phone call should not take... that much current," he enunciates slowly, carefully as he achingly raises his free hand. "I am in favor of the call. Maybe they can evacuate us, rescue the others. It's worth trying."
With his one good eye, he looks around at the others, and counts his blessings that all he got was a black eye. He got lucky.

Rorrow leaned on the wall. Thinking everything over...if they called it, it could lead to them getting out of there that much quicker. If they didn't...they'd lose that chance.
He raised his hand as he spoke, "I say we call it." He hoped taking the risk was worth it.

Dahlia wasn't sure how to exactly respond to such a situation. When thinking about it, how could this said number work if all the electricity isn't working? Let alone the fact that getting bars on any kind of phone would need phone towers powered by electricity.
But on the other hand if there were bars and you could call someone and it DID work, then what could the harm be in trying? Heck we could all be dying if we didn't at least give some things some risk.
"Well-," Dahlia began to say with the end of her word trailing off. "If you can for sure get the phone working. As in it actually has battery and has bars to connect to the phone towers and call people, then I would say it is worth a shot. I mean we kind of are already in a terrible situation. There really isn't much to lose at this point."
"Also-," she began to add. "How much can you trust this classified info? For all we know it could be a trap, milking us for resources."

Prefers to wear plaid, leather, and boots. Not exactly strong, but strong enough to take care of herself (or smart enough to figure away around it).
"Almost anyways." He added with a grin. "I swear just came out of no where. I'm fine though, no worries."
When Cecil moved closer to speak, Rook tilted his ear up towards him so he might hear better. After all, his hearing still wasn't working too well. "You mean like, those weird announcements we've been hearing over the line all day? Or..?" The radios were a bit of a mystery, aside from the constant and somewhat annoying chatter, they picked up some weird advertisements from time to time.
When Justin entered, Rook shot him a scowl as the other man bopped him on the back of the head. He'd get you back for that. Just you wait.
"To be honest, I'm not sure we're going to be able to avoid being in darkness even if we manage to keep the electricity going. I sort of... encountered something really strange today and guys I can tell you there's something out there other than those undead and infected things."
